Heather Kent Art { I Heart Art }

I'm excited to introduce y'all to Heather this week. I received one of her beautiful necklaces as a gift from Alison last year. Since then I have connected with her on IG and I adore her unique work.

I hope you will enjoy reading about Heather and her work and use the code PENANDPAINT15 for 15% off your order!

1. When did
you first begin creating art?

I have
been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. From our dining room
table, my mom used to teach art classes to the neighborhood kids. This is where
I first started painting with watercolors, and is probably why it remains one
of my favorite mediums.

2. What is
your favorite/most sentimental creation you have made? Why?

Though my
favorite medium is watercolor, and my favorite things to create are my Original
Hand Painted Necklaces, a few creations that will always be special to me are 3
Acrylic paintings I did a few years ago. My friend returned from a Missions
trip to Uganda, and several of her photos inspired me to paint them. I painted
a series of Ugandan Children, and quickly sold all three paintings. I hope to
someday add to the series. I attached a photo of 2 of the paintings in their
new home, along with the 3rd Ugandan Boy.

3. Is there
a project you've always dreamed of creating? What would
it be?

Quite a
few. One project that is on the top of my list is a large painting that is
composed of tiny 1 inch paintings to make a huge, beautiful, colorful collage.
I love painting tiny! I have a feeling this project will take quite a while -
stay tuned!
